Video LIV Golf Is On Its Death Bed As The PGA Tour Wins The Golf WAR! | Don't @ Me w/ Dan Dakich Broadcasting legend Tim Brando joins Dan Dakich to break down the decline of LIV Golf, Bryson DeChambeau’s unique success, and the flaws in modern Masters coverage.
Let's get Wednesday Screencaps rolling with one of the hottest topics from the world of sports and pop culture that we weren't covering because in this age of AI and Instagram influencers you just have to be very careful on what we're seeing.
I'm talking about the Bryson DeChambeau and Canadian hockey goalie Mikayla Demaiter content convergence. Are they dating? Is this just some sort of content play for both of them to dominate social media?
What we know is that Bryson's been making it a priority to play golf in Canada. And Mikayla has been dumping out Bryson-branded content from his home gym and from a hotel room while wearing LIV credentials.
PAULINA GRETZKY LEAVES THE INTERNET SPEECHLESS WITH LATEST CONTENT BARRAGE, DORM DECORATIONS & BABE AT 34
Due to this evidence, including Bryson insisting on so much Canadian golf content, I'm fully convinced these two are dating. You can thank the Taylor Swift effect. Now imagine what the PGA Tour is going to look like in 2027.
You'll have Paulina Gretzky and Demaiter at The Masters, if what I'm seeing comes to fruition, now that LIV is imploding.
Looking ahead, if MLB does go through with its lockout, golf is going to be the epicenter of drama and pageviews. Buckle up.

– Travel Ball Hardo Chris B. in Houston proudly emailed this to me:
Kinsey: I cannot wait to watch this. I pray there's a segment where they're all sitting around a Hampton Inn suckin' down High Noons and backstabbing each other.
Mailbag: boy names & ESPN/NFL is about to force feed us flag football!
– Mike in Texas checks in: Good Afternoon Joe. Perusing Texas high school football on X, came across the following names and immediately thought of you! Breydon, Cody, Cole, Kaegan, Kolton, Kross, and Raiden. What the heck!!!
WOODY JOHNSON: MAKING FLAG FOOTBALL OFFICIAL GIVES GIRLS A CHANCE TO CATCH THEIR FUTURES
Kinsey: Suburban moms gone wild, Mike. Happy wife, happy life. Men have to let them give their kids bastardized names so they'll look cool on 11U travel baseball AI-created rosters posted on social media.
– Rob M. in Florida can see it coming: Flag football, I’ve seen it, we’ve all seen it. We know what is coming, we know that his year will be swamped with WNFL (do we know what the league will be called?) promos with former NFL players as coaches and assistants. They’ll be up in the booth during the game, talking up this great new league and all of the great athletes that will participate in it. We’ll have to listen as former NFL greats tell us that they have never seen the likes of the incredible athletes that are playing in this league, and how impressed they are with the skills and determination that that these women have.
However, the truth is, leagues like this and the WNBA are nothing but remoras, the fish that stick to sharks and feed off of them. This league will be no different than that other league that feeds off of the NBA, propped up by a bunch of Beta men who are too afraid to say what we all know. It’s hard to write about the NFL having Beta men, but I’m not talking about the men that actually play the sport, I’m talking about the executives that green light this kind of garbage. The first time that Sue Bird or some other Lesbian Overlord walked into the NFL headquarters and pitched this, there should have been one response, "Thanks but no, I’ve seen what the WNBA is putting out, there is no way I want my league to be associated with what is basically a Real Housewives reality series in running shoes". But that’s not what happened, these guys sat at attention ad ate it all up, they couldn’t wait to say yes. You know why? The NFL prints money, even in the offseason, just stone cold prints it by the ton. They know their fan base will take it, they know we aren’t going anywhere. We’ll put up with virtue signaling slogans in the end zone, we’ll pay $19 a beer at the stadium, we’ll pay $100 to park. Oh, there will be those that tell you that they have had it, but they are lying too, they watch, secretly sitting in their basement with their 6 Fantasy teams and four screens of games on, hiding in the dark like a teenager watching porn. They may get onto Facebook and proclaim that they are done with the NFL, but they are not.
Joe, you are not wrong, it’s coming, it will be force fed to us every Sunday. ESPN will carry the league, promote the league and chastise us for not watching these great athletes perform at a high level, levels to which we have never seen before. The articles will be written about the misogyny that these women face, the homophobia and racism that is rampant in the NFL and what we can do to fix it. Then, two attractive white women will star dominating the league, people will actually watch the games and find it entertaining.
The Overlords will become offended that these two women are becoming the face of the sport, the other players will resent them and actively try to kill them on the field. The drama will escalate, and the cycle will repeat again and again. You know what? Let’s do this, I’m in, let’s see what this turns into. You will get column inches out of it and I’ll get to type out four paragraph rants about it. I can’t wait, bring it on……
Kinsey: Rob's final paragraph is the blueprint. Now we all get to sit back and watch this play out and laugh.
– Paul in Wisco says: Oh man those DUMPkin wipes cracked me up. Speaking of cracks, I am a Dude Wipes user and only buy the unscented ones on Amazon. I don't need someone out in public asking "Where is that nice autumnal scent emanating from?" and then I answer "My clean ass."
Dude Wipes also had a Bomb Pop scent at Sam's Club this summer. Not sure if that qualifies as Respect Summer, but I'll give it to them for their marketing efforts.
– Rory on washing hats in the dishwasher: Yes, dishwasher works, but the heat and cycle will warp the hats. When I was kid (late 80s/early 90s) they used to sell these hat washing cages you could pop them in, but it still warped them.
As someone who likes to keep my rotation of golf hats looking clean, I've found the best method is to soak in some hot water with Oxy Clean. Swish it around every so often, then once clean give it a good rinse and hang dry.
The Little League World Series and travel ball teams masquerading as a group thrown together a few weeks ago to represent some small town
– Reed in Minnetonka, MN checks in: You made an interesting comment this week as to the LLWS and all these teams are absolutely Travel Ball units disguised as tight-knit, small-town groups of tremendous ball players. And I would bet the mortgage you are right in 2026. I know in 1986 I was on the REC/community all-star team for LL (no travel ball existed) and we had a path to LLWS in Louisiana. Went to local regionals and got smoked by a Dwight Gooden sized dude who threw what I remember to be 80 MPH. I was the only one to reach base as I was too scared to swing, got a walk, to second on a passed ball and that was our offense for the day. They weren’t Travel, just athletically superior. We drove back to Monroe, LA.
That said, I see you have the Great Lakes representation for the LLWS just down the road in Hamilton, OH (population 64k). You may already have the recon that they are big time Travel Ball. If not, you can go on a BIG J assignment and truly dig into the make-up of this squad as to how they came to be, origins of the players, truly what was the path for this unit to get to the show, do they have an Alyssa Milano-type mom pimping for Venmo to fund their trip.
Kinsey: I know that Hamilton is a crazy baseball town. I also know the Little League is legendary down there. I also know that Hamilton hosts MASSIVE travel sports events. You might remember my story in July of the families who were being charged over $200 for mom and dad to attend travel basketball tournaments. That was Hamilton.
I have to believe the team you see out of Ohio at the LLWS will be a travel team. I've yet to have anyone email me saying these teams are traditional Little League teams like 25 years ago. Matt in Phenix City, AL already told us the Alabama team is a travel team.
– Mike T. in Idaho is out and about prepping for winter:
And that's it for this mid-Augusta morning with college football inching ever so close. You can feel it. Ohio high school football starts Friday night as does the National Tractor Pull in Bowling Green, OH. Guess which one I'm attending? You're damn right, the PULLLLLLLLLLL.
